Duty control element T3 is a transistor, and it controls logical (light-on) time ratio (being duty) of light in the frame of organic EL D.Duty control element T3 connects with organic EL D, and to carrying out ON/OFF control to the drive current supply of organic EL D, i.e. whether control is carried out or stopped to the supply of organic EL D.
The control signal of attention duty control element T3 is passed through duty control line DTL from duty line traffic control driver (driver IC piece 13).
Fig. 3 A shows relation between the signal waveform of duty control signal and the state of organic EL D (being the state that light is logical and light breaks) to 3C.
The vertical synchronizing signal of Fig. 3 A display frame period, Fig. 3 B shows the waveform of the duty control signal with logical time of short light, and Fig. 3 C shows the waveform of the duty control signal with logical time of long light.
In the present embodiment, duty control element T3 is P-channel fet (field effect transistor), thus the L level period of duty control signal represent that light leads to the time, and the H level period is represented the light break time.

Peak strength control section 25 is treatment facilities, and duty control signal Sd of any suitable length of logical time of light takes place for it.Based on the state that is provided with that the intensity with respect to the peak strength level upwards drives, carry out this signal and take place.So that when not carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards driving, duty control signal Sd take place in peak strength control section 25 when carrying out this setting, and wherein the length of logical time of light is got standard value, i.e. regular length.
On the other hand, when carrying out this setting so that when carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards driving, duty control signal Sd take place in peak strength control section 25, and this duty control signal has the length according to the logical time of light of the average image value of the video data that will calculate for every frame.
The length of logical time of light is assumed to and is arranged in advance in storer or other, is used for each the average image value.For information, organic EL panel 11 leads to the length linear change of time with respect to light on intensity.Therefore, the rate of change of observing the length of logical time of light is the intensity of the peak strength level rate that makes progress in fact.
So that when not carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards driving, for example real, gamma conversion fraction 27 sends to organic EL panel module 3 with the video data that enters same as before when carrying out this setting.Gamma transformed value in the case is " 1 ".
On the other hand, when carrying out this setting so that when carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards driving, gamma conversion fraction 27 experiences the gamma conversion process with respect to video data by this way, make that power consumption can be reduced more than its recruitment as the result with respect to the peak strength level.
In the present embodiment, the gamma transformed value is set to fixed value 1 or bigger.The make progress numerical value of rate supposition of the average increase that is based upon the peak strength level here sets in advance the gamma transformed value.Usually, the power consumption recruitment of supposing is big more, and the gamma transformed value will be big more.The concrete mode that is provided with will be described later.
A-2. the gamma transformed value determines
As mentioned above, middle peak strength level control section 5 at present embodiment idiocratically is applied to the video data that enters with the gamma conversion by this way, the feasible result who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level, power consumption can be reduced more than its recruitment.
Below, describe and how to determine the gamma transformed value.
A. the increase of the peak strength level relation between rate and the power consumption that makes progress
Fig. 5 shows when not carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards drive, the relation between the average image value and the power consumption levels.On the other hand, Fig. 6 shows when execution upwards drives with respect to the intensity of peak strength level, the relation between the average image value and the power consumption levels.
In Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the scale on the left vertical axle is represented the peak strength level, and the scale on the Z-axis of right side is represented power ratio.Power ratio is the value when the power that will consume as the average image value with 100% intensity (being that each pixel has 100% intensity) is " 1 ".
When not carrying out when upwards driving (Fig. 5), be 300[cd/m to the peak strength level of each the average image value with respect to the intensity of peak strength level
2].On the other hand, when carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards drive (Fig. 6), the peak strength level is set to the less the average image value greater than the video data that enters, and less than its big the average image value.
When display image when almost being pure white, peak strength reduces to 200[cd/m
2] or near.This moment, power ratio approximately was 0.66.
On the other hand, when display image almost was black, peak strength was increased to 600[cd/m
2] or near.
The characteristic that attention upwards drives the intensity with respect to the peak strength level, as shown in Figure 6, the peak strength level shows the linear change from harmonic(-)mean image value scope to high the average image value scope.Yet the variation of peak strength level needn't be defined as linearity.
As long as have feature like this, promptly when the more approaching high value scope of the average image value, the peak strength level successfully reduces, and the variation of peak strength level just can be crooked.
With respect to the intensity of the peak strength level of Fig. 6 drive characteristic that makes progress is normally used.This intensity that is used for the peak strength level upwards strengthens the performance of display screen really, but usually increases power consumption.By reference Fig. 7 this characteristic is described.
In Fig. 7, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are overlapped, are used for having or do not have the upwards comparison of the power consumption levels of driving of intensity about the peak strength level is carried out.
Common known organic EL panel 11 has average 30% intensity level.Be used for the demonstration of common television program, it is about 30% that the mean intensity level is considered to, and most of displaying contents of finding in the world are considered to have about 30% intensity level.
Suppose that organic EL panel 11 has gamma 2.2 (promptly almost general value), about 58% the average image value is considered to be used for the average level of any common displaying contents.
In Fig. 7, be that near the part with dashed lines about 58% the point surrounds in the average image value.
So, under usually using, have the average image value and be the power that about 58% continuous demonstration consumes and be assumed on average.
Have and do not have the power that consumes between the situation about upwards driving more like this, the reduction of expecting by gamma transfer pair power consumption be described with respect to the intensity of peak strength level.
Usually there is proportionate relationship between the intensity of organic EL panel 11 and the electric current.Thereby think that any increase of intensity of the result that upwards drives as intensity causes the increase of power consumption.
In the example of Fig. 7, the peak strength level of the average image value corresponding to 58% is from 300[cd/m
2] be increased to 368[cd/m
2].
The intensity rate of making progress in the case is about 23%.The result that this explanation upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level, the power consumption that increase is about 23%.
If notice that the variation of peak strength level when intensity upwards drives is little, the increase of power consumption must be also with little so.
B. compensate for the needed requirement of power consumption recruitment to the gamma transformed value
Fig. 8 shows the upwards exemplary setting of the result's of driving the needed gamma of power consumption recruitment of intensity that reduces as carrying out with respect to the peak strength level.Gamma has the effect that only reduces intensity in the shadow tone of the video data that enters (halftone) zone, even the precipitous ground of gamma curve is crooked.
As mentioned above, provide the gamma factor of strength characteristics (being gamma) to be generally 2.2 with respect to the image value of organic EL panel 11.In the case, if the gamma factor can be set to make gamma curve than the crooked value in the more precipitous ground of the gamma curve with gamma 2.2, the half-tone regions of the video data that enters so can reduce on intensity, and promptly power consumption can reduce.
So, what consider now is the value of the gamma factor, and it can compensate for the recruitment of the result's who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level power consumption.
Inventor of the present invention here notices the mean intensity level of organic EL panel 11, i.e. the average image value.Even this is that it is identical with the mean intensity level (being the average image value) of organic EL panel 11 that the mean intensity level also is considered to because of the actual displayed variations in detail.
In the present embodiment, be 58% point in the average image value, minimum requirements is the intensity corresponding to gamma 2.2 can be reduced by 23% the gamma factor.In the present embodiment, the gamma factor need be 2.67 or bigger.
C. the setting of gamma transformed value and gamma conversion process
Fig. 9 shows the details of the gamma conversion process of being carried out by gamma conversion part 27.That is to say that Fig. 9 shows the gamma conversion how to carry out with respect to video data, be used to change strength characteristics (being gamma) from as initial value 2.2 to being used for 2.67 of this image value.
As mentioned above, provide gamma 2.2 at first with respect to display image value organic EL panel 11.So, the gamma conversion of being carried out by gamma conversion fraction 27 realizes the gamma 2.67 except that gamma 2.2.
When not carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards drive, gamma conversion fraction 27 uses gamma transformed values 1, i.e. input picture value and the shared identical numerical value of output image value.
On the other hand, when carrying out intensity with respect to the peak strength level and upwards drive, gamma conversion fraction 27 uses gamma transformed values 1.21, and it calculates based on 2.67/2.2.
Be increased to greater than 1.21 if be used for organic EL panel 11 gamma transformed values, if promptly increase with respect to the reduction of any average power consumption, the power consumption situation that can upwards drive less than the intensity of not carrying out with respect to the peak strength level so.
Figure 10 schematically shows up to the flow process that this gamma transformed value is set.Attention is in Figure 10, and the mean intensity level (being the average image value) that is used for organic EL panel 11 is assumed to be APLa, and the increment rate of the power consumption when the intensity with respect to the peak strength level upwards drives is Pu.The value of APLa and Pu all is assumed to by normalization, promptly with respect to 1 ratio.
In addition, the initial gamma factor of organic EL panel 11 is γ p, is γ a and reduce power consumption more than its result's who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level the needed gamma factor of recruitment.Realize that the needed gamma transformed value of gamma factor gamma a is γ chg.
At first, APLa calculating is upwards driven the increment rate of back peak value intensity level with respect to normal intensity (promptly not having the upwards intensity of driving of intensity) in intensity.Thereby the increment rate of calculating is extracted then.In the present embodiment, numerically the increment rate Pu with power consumption is identical for the increment rate of the result's who upwards drives as intensity intensity.
For the extraction of increment rate Pu, use about the information of conduct to the APLa of the estimated value of organic EL panel 11.
Next, to the γ p when the APLa, calculate gamma γ a and be used for power (being intensity) reduction Pu.
The equation of this moment calculates with ratio, and is drawn by ensuing relational expression.
APLa
γa＝APLa
γp*(2-Pu)
In order to realize the last γ a that calculates, gamma transformed value (being γ chg) calculates for display data signal.
Equation is as follows.
γchg＝γa/γp
In above-mentioned concrete example,, draw gamma transformed value 1.21 by bringing γ a=2.67 and γ p=2.2 into this equation.
A-3. the effect of embodiment
As mentioned above, organic EL display apparatus to present embodiment, the gamma conversion process (being gamma transformed value 1.21) that drives with by gamma conversion fraction 27 that will make progress with respect to the intensity of peak strength level combines, make it possible to suppress the increase of power consumption, must realize higher picture quality simultaneously.
That is to say that realize upwards driving with respect to the intensity of peak strength level, the increase of power consumption simultaneously is suppressed.In other words, realize the technology of control peak strength level, realize the inhibition of power consumption and the enhancing of display screen performance simultaneously.
By the technology of describing in the present embodiment, the gamma transformed value can be set to 1 or bigger any arbitrary value.
So, the recruitment of the power consumption that not only may compensate for the result who upwards drives as the intensity of carrying out with respect to the peak strength level simply of becoming, and reduce power consumption greater than recruitment as its result.That is to say that power consumption can be reduced more than the peak strength level there not being the situation that intensity upwards drives.
Note in the present embodiment, to any common purposes of organic EL panel 11 supposition, i.e. video data assumed average image value to entering, and the gamma transformed value of any setting is put on the video data that each enters, and making does not need to experience the processing of the calculating gamma transformed value that is used for each frame.So, signal Processing and system configuration can both be simplified.
In addition, because gamma fixes, so even the video data that enters shows fast and tangible brightness to be changed, picture quality also can be expected with fixing gamma transformed value stable.
So, the minimizing of power consumption of picture quality with satisfaction of maintenance like this can be implemented, if use battery supply set, then its running time can be increased to more.In addition, if use the equipment of (AC (alternating current) outlet) reception power supply from commercial power lead source, then electricity bill can be reduced.
B. another embodiment
B-1. the hand-off process 1 of gamma transformed value
In the above-described embodiments, describe the situation of wherein supposing any common purposes of organic EL panel 11, promptly the video data that enters is supposed long-term the average image value, and the gamma transformed value has been provided for the use of each video data that enters based on it.
Alternately, the gamma conversion process can be only carried out in the image value scope of the result's who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level increase power consumption, and the gamma conversion process can stop for the execution in the image value scope of the power consumption that reduces the result who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level.
Figure 11 shows the exemplary setting that realizes the timing point that the scale-of-two of gamma transformed value switches with it.In the example of Figure 11, in the average image value regularly point is set, wherein carry out intensity level that the intensity with respect to the peak strength level upwards drives and intersect with the intensity level that the intensity of not carrying out with respect to the peak strength level upwards drives.In Figure 11, this regional border is illustrated by the broken lines.
As shown in Figure 11,, upwards drive by the intensity with respect to the peak strength level greater than in the zone of the value at timing point place in the average image value, power consumption is reduced.On the other hand,, upwards drive by the intensity with respect to the peak strength level less than in the zone of the value at timing point place in the average image value, power consumption increases.
That is to say that greater than in the zone of the value at timing point place, the solid line that connects the black triangle mark is positioned at the below of the dotted line that connects other black triangle mark in the average image value.On the other hand, less than in the zone of the value at timing point place, the solid line that connects the black triangle mark is positioned at the top of the dotted line that connects other black triangle mark in the average image value.
So, when the video data that enters has less than the average image value in the value at timing point place, use the gamma transformed value of determining as mentioned above (＞1), carry out and have the intensity that suppresses power consumption and increase and upwards drive.
On the other hand, when the video data that enters has greater than the average image value in the value at timing point place, carry out and have the gamma conversion process of gamma transformed value " 1 ", and utilize energetically by suppressing the effect that the peak strength level reduces power consumption.
As a result of, with respect to any average demonstration details that is provided to organic EL panel 11, realize the result's that upwards drives as intensity the reliable minimizing of power consumption and the raising of picture quality simultaneously with respect to the peak strength level.
Figure 12 is presented at the exemplary configuration of the organic EL display apparatus 41 that wherein carries the gamma conversion fraction, and this gamma conversion fraction can change the gamma transformed value of each scope that is used for the average image value.
Attention is in Figure 12, and any assembly that is similar to Fig. 1 provides identical reference number.
Difference between the configuration of Figure 12 and Fig. 1 is, provides the function that changes the gamma transformed value in gamma conversion fraction 53, and provides the average image value for each frame.Here gamma conversion fraction 53 is assemblies of configuration peak strength level control section 51, and the average image value that provides for each frame is to be calculated by the average image calculating section 23, is used to realize changing the processing of gamma transformed value.
Figure 13 shows the control flow of being carried out by gamma conversion fraction 53.At first, gamma conversion fraction 53 is made the execution that determines whether intensity upwards drives and is carried out any setting (S1).
When definite result for certainly the time, gamma conversion fraction 53 carries out determine (S2) whether the average image value that the input video data for each frame calculates is equal to or less than image value APLn.Here, image value APLn provides the regularly value of point.
This moment when definite result also for certainly the time, the gamma transformed value γ chg (＞1) of setting before gamma conversion fraction 53 is selected, and experience gamma conversion process (S3) based on gamma transformed value γ chg.
On the other hand, when the result who determines treatment S 1 or S2 when negating, gamma conversion fraction 53 is gamma transformed value selection " 1 ", and same as before any input picture value is sent to organic EL panel module 3 (S4).
As mentioned above, along with carrying out this processing, have only lowly and have only when as the result who upwards drives with respect to the intensity of peak strength level when the average image value, power consumption shows when increasing that reducing the gamma conversion process that shows intensity in half-tone regions can be performed.
As a result, as the result who upwards drives with respect to the intensity of peak strength level, compare with not having the power consumption that intensity upwards drives, power consumption must be reduced.
B-2. the hand-off process 2 of gamma transformed value
In superincumbent " hand-off process 1 ", be described in regularly and behind the some scale-of-two switched the situation that puts on the gamma transformed value.
What be concerned about here is, for example to the demonstration of moving image, when the average image value of the video data that enters smoothly by point regularly the time, exists any scale-of-two of gamma to change the possibility of the minimizing that may be proved to be picture quality.
Consider these, proposition be a kind of when upwards driving with respect to the intensity of peak strength level, the gamma transformed value in each the average image zone is not used the method for " 1 ".In other words, proposition is the method that changes the gamma transformed value between any two binary values gradually.
As the result who upwards drives as intensity, when the increment rate of intensity is little, find in accordance with the variable quantity of gamma also little with respect to the peak strength level.On this meaning, this method is considered to make effectively near the reduction of any picture quality of the part point regularly more not remarkable.
Figure 14 shows the exemplary control flow corresponding to the gamma conversion fraction 53 of this processing capacity.Notice that organic EL display apparatus has the similar system configuration that is similar to Figure 12.
At first, gamma conversion fraction 53 determines whether any setting (S11) is carried out in the execution that intensity upwards drives.
When definite result for certainly the time, gamma conversion fraction 53 is defined as the average image value that the display data signal of each frame calculates and whether is equal to or less than image value APLn, it provides regularly point (S12).
This moment when definite result also for certainly the time, the value γ chg that gamma conversion fraction 53 is provided with before selecting is as the gamma transformed value, and is worth based on this and experiences gamma conversion process (S13).
On the other hand, when the result who determines treatment S 11 when negating, gamma conversion fraction 53 selects " 1 " as the gamma transformed value, and same as before with any input picture value output (S14).
When the result who determines treatment S 12 when negating, gamma conversion fraction 53 is determined the gamma transformed value by this way, make the gamma transformed value along with " 1 " is changed in the multiplication of some frames, and based on the gamma transformed value experience gamma conversion process of so determining (S15).
Except that this method, the processing of Figure 15 also is a kind of possibility.To this method, suppose that organic EL display apparatus has the system configuration that is similar to Figure 12.
At first, gamma conversion fraction 53 determines whether any setting (S21) is carried out in the execution that intensity upwards drives.
When definite result for certainly the time, gamma conversion fraction 53 is defined as the average image value that the display data signal of each frame calculates and whether is equal to or less than image value APLn, it provides regularly point (S22).
Attention is for example handled with the filtration that comprises hysteresis and is determined in determining processing.That is to say, when determining that the result is when changing with respect to the image value APLs that point is provided regularly, when having only the hysteresis that before satisfying, is provided with to require, allow to change definite result just at last.
This moment when definite result also for certainly the time, the value γ chg that gamma conversion fraction 53 is provided with before selecting is as the gamma transformed value, and is worth based on this and experiences gamma conversion process (S23).On the other hand, when the result who determines treatment S 21 or S22 when negating, gamma conversion fraction 53 selects " 1 " as the gamma transformed value, and same as before with any input picture value output (S24).
As mentioned above, this is handled, when the average image value of the video data that enters changed, may stop the frequent phenomenon that changes of gamma transformed value before or after regularly putting.
The result, can stop reduction as the result's of any variation of gamma picture quality, the result who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level simultaneously compares with not having the power consumption that intensity upwards drives, and keeps reducing the effect of power consumption.
B-3. the setting of gamma transformed value
In the above-described embodiments, described the situation that is provided for the gamma transformed value γ chg of use during the intensity with respect to the peak strength level upwards drives, this peak strength level has the supposition (supposition that promptly has the average image value of the video data that enters) of the common purposes of organic EL panel 11.
That is to say, description be the situation of using any fixedly gamma.
Alternately, gamma (being the gamma transformed value) can be each the frame setting that is associated with the average image value of calculating for each frame that enters video data.
As the result who upwards drives as the intensity with respect to the peak strength level, when for example the recruitment of power consumption was big, the gamma transformed value can be set to greatly.On the other hand, when as the result who upwards drives with respect to the intensity of peak strength level, the recruitment of power consumption hour, the gamma transformed value can be set to the value (＞1) near 1.
Yet in this case, needs that so each frame is carried out the gamma of reading that is suitable for use in each the average image value of carrying out the gamma conversion process and handle.
B-4. calculate other method of the average image value
In the above-described embodiments, description is the situation of calculating the average image value of the video data that enters for each frame.

If with such computing method, the needed processing load of system can reduce so.
B-5. control other method of peak strength level

With possible technology, can numerically fix in the logical time of the light of image duration, and the dynamic range that is used to be applied to the magnitude of voltage of data line DL may be controlled to variablely, make peak strength level Be Controlled.
Notice that the characteristic that intensity changes shows with respect to the variation of gamma reference voltage along the gamma of organic EL panel 11.Therefore, in the case, based on the gamma reference voltage as the result who changes along gamma, control is with respect to the intensity of the peak strength level rate that makes progress.
Figure 16 shows the functional configuration of the organic EL display apparatus 61 of the control method with this application.Attention is in Figure 16, and any assembly that is similar to Fig. 1 is subordinated to identical reference number.Organic EL display apparatus 61 must be applicable to the system configuration of other embodiment.

So, peak strength control section 83 output gamma reference voltage control signal S γ are used to control the use of peak strength level.Gamma reference voltage control signal S γ is that the gamma of considering organic EL panel 11 is provided with.Alternately, gamma reference voltage control signal S γ can so dispose, so that only represent the peak strength level or as the change amount of controlled target, and reference voltage can take place in a side of driver IC piece 73.
